Can Licensed US teachers obtain a job in Ontario?

[EgySaudwife]

Hello All,
I'm finishing up my last semesters of university here in America. After completion of university I must sit for the Praxis exam which is the 2 part Teaching Exam for the United States to obtain a teaching license. If I receive my teaching license here in United States, can I use this license as proof that I am a certified teacher to apply for a position with the Ontario Educational Systems? Or is it difficult for licensed teachers to obtain jobs in Ontario?

You need to be certified to teach in Ontario first.

You'll also most likely need to become a PR before you'll have any chance of securing a job as a teacher in Canada. There are far more teachers than jobs in Ontario. As a result, LMIAs really aren't issued for teaching positions (and you need an LMIA to get a work permit).
